Today I will tell how you can use jQuery to animate and control your text. We will changing font size, font family and other properties. Where we can use this? As example to allow your users to customize view of text boxes in your website. So, playing with styles - users will be able to select preferred styles, and you will need just save these styles for him, or, you can use this as some zoon for your website, which will allow to change font size in realtime. Also we will using jQuery slider to manipulate with properties to make it more interactive.

I'm a new contributor to the SitePoint blogs and will mostly be covering front-end development and Semantic Web technologies. I'm looking forward to participating in the SitePoint community! Sometimes it's the simplest things that go unnoticed for the longest time. Case in point, while catching up on some WSG reading tonight, I saw a link to Paul Hammond's Conditional classnames for Internet Explorer. In a sentence, he shows how using conditional comments to customize the element's class name can be used to simplify CSS selectors for a number of advantageous purposes.

Did you like my previous CSS tutorial on how to create gradient text effects? I'm using the same trick to show you how to decorate your images and photo galleries without editing the source images. The trick is very simple. All you need is an extra tag and apply a background image to create the overlaying effect. It is very easy and flexible - see my demos with over 20 styles, from a simple image icon to a rounded corner to a masked layer (both decorative and complex).

Some bright folks also feel the same pain and went ahead and built meta-languages and compilers that take their own version of CSS and compile it to standard CSS code. Their own CSS meta-language is thus able to have new features, like variables, mixins, operations and so on. The most notable of these right now is SASS (part of HAML). I've tried SASS and really liked it, but one thing really bothered me. I didn't like how all the syntax was different to CSS. Sure, it's not CSS anymore, it's SASS, but do we really need to change the syntax of the stuff already present in CSS - why not just expand it? I've asked a friend of mine who is much more competent at programming than me about how long it would take to code a CSS compiler that retained the original CSS syntax but added a bunch of new features. He liked the idea and so we've put together our own version of CSS together with a compiler we call LESS, which stands for Leaner CSS.

Developers continue to do crazy things to show us what can be done with CSS3. The latest is a fully animated Twitter fail whale by Steve Dennis: The idea for this came to me this morning after being greeted first thing this morning by another Twitter outage. I'd been looking for something to stretch my CSS muscles on, and the Fail Whale seemed perfect. Also I think the animation only adds to his (or her?) charm. How was this made? The short answer is very painfully, by hand, using trial and error. Curves are done using various uneven border-radius properties, stranger angles (such as the strings) are masked using containers with overflow: hidden; set on them. I hope someone else gets a bit of enjoyment out of my wasted Sunday. It was a fun experiment that I don't plan on repeating any time soon. Take a look at the source to see the mass of code such as: PLAIN TEXTCSS:@-webkit-keyframes flutter1 {  0%   { -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg) }  50%  { -webkit-transform:rotate(-25deg) }  100% { -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg) }}.right .wing {  background: transparent !important;  z-index: 22 !important;  width: 15px;  height: 18px;  bottom: 4px;  left: 8px;  -webkit-animation: 'flutter1' 0.1s linear;  -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;}
